PARIS. (UP) Social event wt
fashions, Is the opinion of M. Helm,
who &as drawr some pretty accurate
conclusions In proving bis remark.
With an Imposing mt of social
functions, very formal In their na
ture, he found that "one conclusion
was Immediately obvious that for
mal, elegant evening gowns are again
In favor a marked reaction against
the casual Insignificant evening cos
tumes of the past two seasons. The
simple black satin or crepe frock,
once seen as much for formal occa
sions as for dinner, no longer hs
any place In such brilliant surround
ings. Instead, there are lames, heavy
silks, ottomans and failles, Lyon vel
vetall of which fall In rich folds
and give a distinction that mediocre
materials can never achieve.
"Ermine and mink, after having
been neglected for one or two years,
have. In the parlance of the movie,
'staged a comeback,' and there are
still fortunate women who can draw
about their s&ouldera that most royal
of all furs sable. Pur capes are
more numerous than ever, and easily
equal coats In favor. It Is a safe
wager that both for spring and aum
mer, fur capes will have an increas
ing vogue."
Capes seldom fall to flatter. They
are a boon to the skinny-snoiuaerea
and an asset to the woman with
beautiful shoulders who can afford
to drape expensive furs or fabrics In
becoming manner about them. Ma
terial falls gracefully over shoulders
whether It be of fur, rich fabrics, line
gauzes or the famous Lanvln span,
gles.
Spring Suits Go Feminine
As Mannish Trend Fades
FASHIONABLE FIXTURE
FOR 1934 WARDROBE

PARIS, France. (UP) We'vo been
apporachlng It for some time, but
bow we've actually arrived at the
baby bonnet hat stage, tied under
the chin et all
Mile. Colette Rosambert. the pretty
French tennis star. Is sponsoring the
vogue. Hers Is a knitted affair In
black with little turn-up tabs In
front and back and a knitted bow
tied directly under the chin.
Other versions of this grownup hat
fad are In straw, felt and straw
combinations, and In fabrics match
ing ensembles for spring. There is
no argument about the comfort of
thene bonnets even the Infants sel
dom fret about them and w.hile we
allow for a difference of opinion as
to the efficacy of the chlntlea, the
turn back effects of the forehead are
becoming to manj we discussed the
matter with one milliner here who
hs arranged for the ties to turn back
from the ears and make their bow !
at the nape of the neek. This Isn't!
bad at all, and one or two butch j
bonnet effects have met with real !
favor from the younger set.
Berets and queer-shaped knitted
bead coverings seem to have met
with such complete success lsst sea
son that there Is no outing them In
1934. Knitting and crocheting Is no
longer a homely business, and the
mode has worked Its way Into forma
evening attire as well. Gold and sil
ver threads, metal and allk work
lnta delicate Juliette caps, evening
bags, sweaters. Jackets and gloves.
A black linen shirt, black paten t leather hat and belt and black
snede gloves give the 1934 touch to this spring suit of helce wool flecked
with black. Marcel Rochas designs It with the trimly tailored, though
feminine, lines In vogue this season. The coat Is three-quarter length.
By RITA FERRIS
- Associated Press Fashion Editor
PARIS. (UP) Femininity Is the
essence of the new spring suit.
Though a trimly tailored effect of
simplicity Is still the rule, the hard
mannish Una In vogue for several
seasons has been tossed on fashion's
scrap heap. Wools are often a little
softer, silhouettes look less as though
they had 3een sketched by hard
black crayons on white paper, acces
sories such as golden snail or silver
seashell fastenings are decidedly fem
inine. Square, padded, exaggerated shoul
ders are no longer seen. Some de
signers show the trimly squared
shoulders always favored for tail
ored suits; others display a much
softer, almost sloping ahoulder line.
Jacket lengths are a matter In
which madam "may have her own
way. The favorite Is the classic hip-
length line, ending a little below the
hip bones, but one designer shows
suits with Jacket no longer than tie
waist, and others display both belted
and loose three-quarter length. Jack
ets. Two-toned weaves are a heavy fa
vorite In the suit world. Tweeds,
shadow, plaids, herringbones, diamond-patterned
plaids and stripes,
as well as homespuns and hopsack
lngs, are legion. Orelge and brown,
black and gray, navy and horizon
blue are the favorite mixtures.
Soft black wools woven with Isin
glass stripes to give a shiny finish,
quilted satins, crisp taffetas and cra
vat silks are much used for Jaunty
little afternoon suits, cut with Jack
ets which nip In to the waist and
end In longer black talis.
LONDON, March 13. (AP) Elsie
Ferguson, American actress, plans to
marry soon for the fourth time.
Notice of her forthcoming mar
riage .to Victor Augustus Seymour
Egan, wealthy Irishman who haa lived
here seversl years, was filed at the
Caxton Register office today.
Miss Ferguson, who gave her age
as 49, said later she had "left the
stage for good." It will be the second
marriage for Egan, whose age was
given at 59. v
FROST EXPERT ON

Roy Rogers, of the United States

during the frost season. Equipment
to be used also arrived and la being
set up In the county agent's office at I
the courthouse. j
A week of the present weather, ac-'
cording to orchardlsts. would cause
general bloom throughout the valley.
Already the D'AnJous have started to
cluster, and several orchards of the
valley are In the . "pink" and the
"white".
Cooler nights, and a decided drop
in temperature would bring the frost
danger. County Horticulturist L. P.
Wilcox states the blossoms can now
stand a temperature of about 35 de
grees, but lower would require smudging.
